I was asked by a friend to design a tattoo for her based on one that she had seen with a couple's names woven into a heart design, but she asked if I could do it with Mum, Dad and Tony instead...........this is what I came up with, this is for you Mandi :)

I know it is still just about summer, but I have been busy designing a Christmas card with a bit of a cycling theme, in honour of the shop where I now work. The shop is Bicycles by Design , based here in the Ironbridge Gorge. Pete and Rob, who run the company, also run, The Tandem Shop and The Tandem Experience which was my inspiration for this Christmas card design, Santa on a Tandem!

The cards measure 18cm x 12.5cm, and are available from myself. They are packaged individually and cost £1.95 each + P&P, (including envelope). I am able to accept payments by cheque/bankers draft or Paypal, for further info please email me @ blackdragon1313@gmail.com

Having made the floral bookmarks, I was told by the young daughter of a friend that she needed a bookmark, so I thought I'd better make some bookmarks that might appeal more to children (as well as adults)! These are the result!

About Me

Hi, as you can see, my name is Linda.
I am an artist and an ex-farmer, now living in Shropshire, with my partner Dave, our three dogs and my three ferrets.
Over the years I have enjoyed doing various kinds of crafting, and still do. I am currently specialising in acrylics, which I have been using for many years for doing pet portraits and which I am now using for landscapes as well. I have also recently tried my hand at pastels, which I am enjoying. When pushed I can also be persuaded to do freehand signwriting!
